On the night that Ophie's dad tells her to get out of the house and hide she doesn't realize that he is already dead and she is seeing his ghost. After escaping the men who killed her father and set their house on fire, Ophie and her mother move to Pittsburgh where they find work in an old lady's house. But though Ophie is told to keep her ability to see ghosts a secret and to leave them be, she is drawn to their stories. She feels especially bad for Clara, a former servant who, even though the staff say she ran off, the presence of her ghost says otherwise. Can Ophie bring closure for Clara and other ghosts without endangering herself?
I can't wait to get this into my student's hands - great historical mystery with some edge to it.
